Syracuse Power Stalls Kansas Jayhawks,14-7
THE END OF THE LINE—Bert Coan, KU halfback, is stopped on the Syracuse 29 yard line after an 11-yard gain in the fourth quarter. This first down was one of four for the Jayhawks.
A powerful Syracuse team, after trailing by seven points at half-time, bounded over a comparatively light but inspired Kansas eleven in the second half of Saturday's inter-sectional football game to edge the Jayhawks 14-7.
The awesome power of the visitors proved to be the deciding factor as they rolled over the Jayhawk defense in the third and fourth quarters.
Kansas drew first blood on the fifth play of the game and the second play for the Jayhawkers. The score came following a Syracuse fumble recovered by Kansas' end Larry Allen. Halfback Bert Coan crossed the line for the touchdown.
Passes Play Key Role
The first Syracuse tally came midway in the third quarter on a third down pass from quarterback Dave Sarette to Ken Ericson.
Two other passes by the winners, one on third down, and one on fourth down, produced the winning margin. The first was a catch by one of the game's outstanding players, Ernie Davis, which put the ball on the KU 26. The second was to Whitey Reimer which gave the Orange the oval on the Kansas one.
These three plays and others like them enabled the Orange to successfully control the ball. KU had only 39 plays from scrimmage. Syracuse had 87.
The penalty that nullified Curtis McClinton's touchdown run and the backfield fumble two plays later squecked KU's hopes of upsetting the defending national champions.
The big feature for KU fans was the spirit-driven march of the Jayhawks in the final period. Showing a new double wing formation, the Hawkers squirmed through, and flittered over the staunch Syraeuse defenders. It was their own mistakes that stopped the Kansans shy of at least a tie.
The new formation, however, was not designed to fool the Orangemen, but make them change their defense, according to Mitchell. The Jayhawk head coach was satisfied that the new offense had served its purpose.
Why didn't the previously high geared KU offense move for more than just 110 total vards?
Syracuse rolled for 22. A crowd of 40,000 turned out for the intersectional contest which featured half-time entertainment by bands from 72 high schools in the Lawrence area.
Mitchell said Syracuse was playing their huge tackles opposite KU's somewhat diminutive ends, and shoved them right into the Hawker's backfield.
"I was disappointed. I thought we could move the ball against anybody." This was Mitchell's comment on the KU offense.
Mitchell was pleased, however, with the constantly good field position the Jayhawks were able to maintain. John Hadl's excellent punting played the biggest part in accomplishing this advantage. Mitchell said that although his team had
position, they just couldn't take advantage of it.
The loss to Syracuse, however, revealed several interesting things: signs of a weakness in pass defense, fewer penalties and an apparently uninjured Kansas football team.
The Hawks now must concentrate their efforts toward stopping a red hot Iowa State team next Saturday at Ames. The Cyclones defeated a highly regarded Nebraska team, 10-7 in a Big Eight conference game Saturday for their third straight victory.
